SUMMARY:TASTING AS MINDFULNESS
DESCRIPTION:Slow down and experience flavor with intention during this unique collaborative tasting led by Becky of The Random Tea Room and Nick from Parentheses. \nThis immersive evening is designed to help you explore taste through curiosity rather than expertise.

SUMMARY:A closer Look: Michael Rex – Artist Talk & Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Michael Rex in a more intimate and relaxed setting. \nFollowing the talk\, dinner will be served allowing for more discussion with the artist and among guests. \nRex’s artistic inspiration is deeply personal and two-fold.

Later\, a transformative encounter with the work of artist Ruth Asawa in a 2017 exhibition expanded his vision of what wire could become. With a lifelong background in the arts\, including dance\, music\, and professional television performances\, and a global career in the fashion industry\, Rex brings a refined sense of movement\, rhythm and design to his sculptural practice. \nMenu\n___\nWatermelon feta and mint salad\n___\nRoasted salmon with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables\n___\nMeringue\, whipped cream\, kiwi fruit camp; strawberries\n___\n*A GF vegan option of tagine with rice is available\, please inquire at time of reservation. \nTalk: 6:00 pm – 6:45 pm\nDinner: served at 7:00pm\nPrices include 20% gratuity.\nThis event is BYOB\nBy reservation only.\nPlease sign up at least 2 days prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Get to know Guilty: Guilty Good Pastries Intro Pop Up
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a delicious collaboration! We’re teaming up with Guilty Good Pastries for a treat-focused experiment that delivers on your long requested tea-time cravings. It’s been a while since we’ve carried anything beyond tea\, and what we’re about to share is sure to rock your taste buds. \nGuilty Good Pastries is the creation of Elizabeth Kim\, a former teacher of eleven years who is now pursuing her childhood dream of opening a bakery that reflects her Korean-American heritage. When defining her vision\, two words kept coming up: comfort and nostalgia. Her pastries blend classic American and Asian flavors inspired by the food memories she grew up with. \nThrough Guilty Good Pastries\, Elizabeth aims to bridge the gap between “American” and “Asian” bakeries—crafting a space where second-generation Americans feel represented\, and where curious eaters from all backgrounds can explore new flavor profiles. Try one of her signature bars\, buns\, or pies and you’ll understand why they’re called “guilty good.” \nJoin us for a “Get to know Guilty” pop up on Thursday December 4th from 3-5pm and make sure to stop by on Saturday the 6th for the 1st of what we hope to be many weekly deliveries of Guilty Good Pastries. Supplies are limited\, so get your Guilty Good before it’s gone.
